Healthy snack


I like to have a Wasa cracker or two when the kids have their after school snack. There is not too much caloric damage and I also get to eat something yummy, so I don't feel too deprived. I spread one with a cilantro almond chutney and the second with almond butter and raspberry jelly, so it feels like a dessert. Green chutney: Blend 1 bunch of fresh cilantro, an inch piece of ginger, 1 jalapeño, 1 handful of roasted almonds, just brown for a few minutes on the stovetop. Add fresh squeezed lime and salt to taste. Store in a reusable glass jar in the fridge for upto 10 days. Taste, if its too spicy, tweak ginger and remove jalapeño seeds next time. To salvage spicy batch, add more cilantro and almonds, very little water. Enjoy on crackers or bread.
